Morgan Wallen’s “I’m The Problem” has dominated the top of the “Billboard” 200 for two straight months since its release. This past week’s unit count hit 151,000, marking a 12% drop from the previous week.

Wallen’s spent a total of 37 weeks at No. 1 across his three chart-topping albums—eight weeks with “I’m The Problem,” 19 weeks with “One Thing At A Time,” and 10 weeks with “Dangerous: The Double Album.” This ties him with Drake for fifth place among male solo artists and 12th overall, with the grand champion still the Beatles at 132 weeks. The next targets Wallen could catch up to are the Rolling Stones (38 weeks), Elton John (39 weeks), and Adele (40 weeks).

The “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack moved up one spot from No. 3 to No. 2. With weekly figures of 75,000 units, that’s a 21% increase compared to the previous week. It’s the first soundtrack album to debut in the Top 10 and continue climbing over the following two weeks since 2017’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2: Awesome Mix Vol. 2”. Only four soundtracks have reached the Top 2 since the decade started—the other three being “Wicked” (2024), “Barbie” (2023), and “Encanto” (2022), with only the last making it all the way to the top.

“KPop Demon Hunters” was streamed 96 million times over the week, equivalent to 70,000 units, hitting No. 2 in streaming and nearly reaching the 100 million streams the “Encanto” soundtrack saw at its peak. While the current No. 1 album, “I’m The Problem,” saw 200 million streams, “KPop Demon Hunters” nearly reached the top of the chart with just a third the number of tracks, meaning more streams per song (12 to Wallen’s album’s 37). The soundtrack sold 4,000 copies, landing at No. 9 on Top Album Sales.

Meanwhile, Toby Keith’s album “35 Biggest Hits” jumped from No. 43 to No. 9. The singer’s 2008 compilation album previously reached No. 1 on the “Billboard” 200 last February following news of his passing. Known for his patriotic country songs, Keith gained renewed recognition following Independence Day in the United States on July 4, resulting in a significant boost in streams. Of the 26,000 units the album moved over the week, 33 million were from streams, pushing it all the way from No. 43 to No. 11 on Top Streaming Albums.

As for the rest of the Top 10, Nos. 3 through 8 in order were “One Thing At A Time” by Morgan Wallen (39,000 units), “SOS” by SZA (36,000 units), “Short n’ Sweet” by Sabrina Carpenter (35,000 units), “Dangerous: The Double Album” by Wallen (29,000 units), “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” by Bad Bunny (29,000 units), and “Tropicoqueta” by KAROL G (29,000 units). At No. 10 was PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake’s “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” with 26,000 units.

Alex Warren’s single “Ordinary” topped the chart for a sixth week. The song saw 19.1 million streams, representing a 5% decline from the previous week and dropping it from No. 2 to No. 4 on the Streaming Songs chart. Radio airplay increased by 5%, however, keeping it at No. 1 on the Radio Songs chart for a fourth week. Digital sales made up 6,000 units, resulting in a drop down to No. 2 on the Digital Song Sales chart after eight weeks at No. 1. But with strong figures across the board, “Ordinary” continues to be No. 1 on the Hot 100 overall. Still, the slip to No. 4 in streaming does stand out and reflects the shifting sands of the upper portion of the week’s chart.

Drake’s new single “What Did I Miss?” debuted at No. 2. It marks Drake’s 81st Top 10 hit. The rapper continues to hold a commanding lead in this regard, far ahead of Taylor Swift’s 59 Top 10s. “What Did I Miss?” logged 22.6 million streams, becoming Drake’s 21st song to hit No. 1 on Streaming Songs—another record to his name. Digital sales of the track reached 6,000, propelling it No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart as well—his 15th digital No. 1 and the most of any male solo artist, trailing only Taylor Swift (29) and Nicki Minaj (17) overall. On the June 21 chart, Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Manchild” debuted at No. 1 to briefly push “Ordinary” to No. 2. That was already an exceptional case driven by a brief surge in streaming, and the same effect is being seen with the current buzz surrounding Drake’s latest single. The difference is that “Manchild” took the lead with an astounding 27 million streams and 20,000 digital sales. “Ordinary,” meanwhile, has become an even greater force to reckon with since then thanks to all the airplay it’s been enjoying.

Songs from the “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack enjoyed another impressive rise this week. “Golden” jumped from No. 23 to No. 6, with streams increasing by 39% to 18.8 million, bumping it up from No. 7 to No. 3 on the Streaming Songs chart. All seven tracks from the soundtrack that appeared on the previous week’s Hot 100 rose 12 to 17 spots each, variously landing from No. 2 to No. 51. The JEONGYEON, JIHYO, and CHAEYOUNG version of “Takedown” also debuted at No. 86 on the Hot 100 after being No. 2 on last week’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, putting eight songs, or a full two-thirds of the soundtrack, on the Hot 100. TWICE previously appeared on the chart in 2021 with “The Feels” and in 2023 with “MOONLIGHT SUNRISE” at Nos. 83 and 84, respectively. “Takedown” marks the first Hot 100 hit credited to the three members as a unit as opposed to the whole group.

Morgan Wallen landed three songs in the Top 10—“What I Want” at No. 3, “Just In Case” at No. 4, and “I’m The Problem” at No. 8. This is the 10th time Wallen has pulled this off, tying the personal records set by the Beatles and Kendrick Lamar. The only artists to outpace them are Justin Bieber (11 times), 50 Cent (15 times), and Drake (19 times).

Rounding out the Top 10 are Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” at No. 5, Lamar and SZA’s “luther” at No. 7, Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” at No. 9, and Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With A Smile” at No. 10.

Kesha’s sixth album, “.” (pronounced “Period”), debuted at No. 17 on the latest “Billboard” 200. It’s her seventh album to reach the Top 40. On the Top Album Sales chart, it debuted at No. 1, marking her first time at the top since 2017 and her third overall, including her smash 2010 record “Animal.” Physical album sales accounted for 15,000 of the 23,000 units “.” moved, with vinyl alone making up 11,000.

The new album represents a return for Kesha after her long legal battle with producer Dr. Luke was settled in 2023, serving as a powerful declaration of hard-won artistic independence and personal liberation. Kesha made as much painfully clear through the circumstances surrounding the album’s release. “.” was produced under her own label, Kesha Records. She now not only retains ownership of her music but can also take control of the artistic direction. The album’s title is more than a mere punctuation mark—it symbolizes the absolute and unequivocal end to the most challenging period of her life. That the album was released on July 4, US Independence Day, was no coincidence either but a deliberate gesture. With this multifaceted approach, Kesha elevated the album launch into a political statement of newfound autonomy and self-affirmation.

Kesha spends her album experimenting with EDM, country pop, hip hop, Europop, hyperpop, and disco. Some see it as an adventurous mindset to give everything a try, made permissible by her newfound freedom. Others feel it lacks a cohesive vision or that it isn’t suited for commercial appeal. When interviewed, however, Kesha made the album’s purpose clear in her own words. She’s “trying to embody freedom in every way possible” and aims “to create a safe space for people to feel fully embodied and liberated.” As such, the album’s eclectic mix of styles, genres, and mood swings can be seen as a metaphor for emotional healing and growth—facing challenges, learning from them, letting go, and repeating the process. It’s interesting how some albums prioritize making an experience out of conveying a living, breathing message over seeking a sense of artistic or commercial consistency. The fan support reflected in the album sales isn’t just about personal taste, either—it suggests a deeper sense of solidarity and shared journey. Kesha burst onto the scene 15 years ago as America’s party girl. Today, she’s the CEO of her own company, her own music, and her own life.
